Gail Z promises to "revisit" Trout Mask Replica

Recently Gail Zappa, Dweezil Zappa and Joe Travers guested the radio station Rockline to talk about the Carnegie Hall release but also talked a bit about future projects.
Gail said that the Zappa Family Trust's most recent release is Captain Beefheart's original Bat Chain Puller and that they will "revisit Trout Mask Replica" and that they will also re-release the album An Evening With Wild Man Fischer. And of course they will continue releasing more Frank Zappa albums.

Listen to the broadcast here: http://www.rocklineradio.com/replay/replay.php

...but don't wait too long. It's great listening and the program is only available for two weeks!

Pre-order your copy now!

Barfko-Swill is now taking pre-orders for the Captain Beefheart album Bat Chain Puller. The music was recorded in 1976 but remained unreleased as a result of the big law suit between the producer Frank Zappa and Warner Brothers.

The album consists of original versions of several songs that were later re-recorded for the Shiny Beast and Doc At The Radar Station albums, plus a couple of previously unreleased songs. This is what Wikipedia has on Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) including some information about the original Bat Chain Puller.
